I am really anxious and stressed, please be kind. I am currently worrying myself sick over names. I have two different styles and am completely torn which to go for. I posted about the name Tom and wasn’t clear so I thought I would try to write another with a full list to get some help. I don’t want a name that is really popular or that is likely to become extremely popular and I feel like I have looked at every possible name now. Help would be much appreciated
I so far have these names:
Rupert
Felix
Monty
Dominic
Peter
Frank
Drew
Joe
Guy
Tom

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Felix, Frank, and Joe are lovely names. Stay away from Monty it’s a dog’s name, I know 5 (yes 5) dogs called Monty!

Other suggestions:
Patrick
Joel
Conal
Hugh
Christian

From your list I like Tom, short for Thomas, Peter, and Guy. I'd gladly name a DS any of those.

Joe short for Joseph is fine. Felix is ok. Monty is a bit of a pet's name, as is Felix.

Rupert is ok for a bear but I didn't like Rupert Bear anyway.
Dominic sounds a bit wet, and Raab and Cummings, and Big Bad Dom, so a plain No from me.

Frank is Frank Butcher and Drew is Drew Barrymore, so both are No. They aren't awful if short for Francis and Andrew.
